Gosho-ji Temple is one of the head temples of the Shinshu Buddhist tradition. Its large halls, zelkova-wood gate, sutra storehouse, and bell tower make it a calm stop for visitors interested in Echizen's religious heritage.
The temple traces its origins to Kyoto in the 13th century and was moved to Echizen in the early 17th century. It is best visited as part of a wider circuit around Echizen's old temples, shrines, and craft villages.
